that isn't exactly low mileage... and 1995 is pretty old. Still a very nice looking car though, among the aurora crowd, nothing special?
Can you tell me why you always TYPE IN CAPS???

Nice color, though.  It looks just like the Evergreen on my '99, although the name of that shade was different for the 95-96 model years I believe. I've wondered about the CAPS thing too. Let us in on your secret, tahoesport! |

Not bad, 8,800 miles a year is pretty low. The dent in the rear driver's side door is pretty serious. But look around the cupholders, it flawless!!! Too bad it's green though ... |

I just saw a 99 with 34k go for $8500 when the book value is like 5k. I wouldve paid that much if i was in the market..
89900 is not low. lol. I have 90800. Not low but about 7k less than the industry average..

For a '99, yes, I think a high price is reasonable. For a '95 or '96 (or an '01 for that matter), I think book or a little less is fair, because even though it might be low-mileage, the age certainly matters. I wouldn't expect the early years to be trouble free regardless of miles.

why is everyone saying that the mileage is not low? that car is technically more than 10 years old and it only has 89,900 on it? thats less than 10k a year people! i dont know where all of your people drive but around here that is pretty low miles for a 10 year old car.

You said simply that the mileage is low. It's not low. Perhaps "relatively" low for a 10 year old car, but even then, only a bit less than market average.

My Galant is a 96 and has 96,700 miles on it right now, and our '01 Aurora has just over 34,000 miles on it. I don't consider either of them low mileage. Like Mac said, relatively low. I'd say less than 5,000 a year is "low" for most cars. |

Yeah, that would be low. 30k or so is low. Then Marc's is collector-low  |

I dont want to come in here starting any debates or anything about who considers mileage being low, but in a recent article that I read in Car & Driver Magazine it was written that the national average of miles driven per year is between 15k & 18k. SO....if you were to do a little simple math, which I'm sure most of you can do, then you would figure out that 90k for a 10 year old car is well below the average! If you are looking at strictly mileage, then of course thats a bunch of miles....but its a 10 year old car!!

So we've agreed that the term "low mileage" is subjective.  Related to the car for sale, the eBay reserve has been met at just over $1500... and that seems like a more-than-reasonable price for a car of that age/mileage. |

Thought this was an interesting graph (from www.census.gov/statab/www/ )  So about 12k miles/year, a 10 year old car should have 120k But wow, $2k for that car is definetely worth it. Heated seats, autobahn, sunroof.. all the nicer options, sweet deal. |
